Why read it?

2 authors picked Cackle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love it because I cackled all the way through it. This book encourages its readers to embrace your inner witch! It is witty, scary, and filled with the paranormal that I love! I cheered as the heroine discovered her groove, so to speak

I love stories about insecure women who gain strength and evolve, probably because that happened to me. It’s just an all-around fun read that urges women to stand up and be themselves.

A bewitching book from beginning to end. Harrison knows how to blend her horror with humor, along with an added dash of pathos to make her characters feel achingly real and relatable. What would you do if you moved to a new town, only to discover your neighbor just-so-happened to be a witch? Fair warning to those afraid of spiders: This book is crawling with the little homewreckers.

From Clay's list on bad neighbors.
